As the first public organic zone in Taiwan, Nakazaki Farm in Kaohsiung is facing an expropriation crisis due to the development of Qiaotou Science Park, which is related to the commitment of the Organic Agriculture Promotion Law to provide long-term lease protection for organic farmers to lease state-owned land. this case has attracted a lot of attention from all walks of life. In order to preserve the Nakasaki area, the people proposed to set up a "Rolling Water Ecological Agricultural Geological Park", which would delineate the Nakasaki organic area together with the natural landscape of mud volcanoes into the Qiaotou Science Park.

Yesterday, members of the Nakasaki organic area, solidarity farmers, public opinion representatives, environmental protection organizations, etc., jointly called for the preservation of the organic zone. The farmer said, "what is really a pity to lose Nakasaki Farm is not only the ten years we have paid, but also the life constantly emerging in the land. Hoping to keep the farm going. So that organic business groups can still sprout continuously. "

People from all walks of life called for the rescue of Nakasaki Organic area. The second from the left in the front row is Yang Dengxu (Photo / Lin Jiyang), Chairman of Nakasaki Agricultural Transportation and Marketing Cooperative. Chairman of Nakasaki Cooperative: how long will the agricultural sector retreat? Hope that people from all walks of life will support the farmers.

Yang Dengxu, chairman of the Nakasaki Agricultural Transportation and Marketing Cooperative, described "the campaign for the preservation of Nakasaki organic farms as a battle," but this battle is a microcosm of a long struggle between the agricultural sector and the industrial sector. The agricultural sector is falling back. Yang Dengxu also revealed that he had previously complained to Chairman Chen Jizhong, but he was very disappointed when he got the answer of "changing places."

For him, "Agriculture is not only a figure of output value, but also a confrontation between culture, production and social life." He likens Nakasaki Farm as the last line of defense for organic agriculture, and hopes that more members of the public will participate in defending this line of defense, not only to help Nakasaki Farm, but also to help Taiwan's agriculture defend this line.

Farmers' platform is looking forward to a win-win situation: organic farms are life-saving fields in the city. Please help us.

Huang Shujuan, a farmer who came to support her, runs an ecological farm in Bird Pine and develops horticultural therapy. She believes: "the agricultural environment is the best treatment for civilized diseases of urban people, and the organic road is not easy to go. In addition to the low income, we must also face strange skepticism, but people who are willing to go organic are all in order to create a healthier living and eating environment."

Huang Shu-Juan lamented that organic agriculture had been pushed for 20 years, but unexpectedly, she still had to sacrifice for industry. She felt that many people did not understand organic agriculture and expected that industry and agriculture could co-exist: "Nakazaki organic farm took ten years. Farmers' time and years cannot be compensated with money. Mechanical fields are life-saving fields for modern urbanites. Farmers cannot speak for themselves. They must be very sad. I hope you can help farmers speak up!"

Farmer Huang Shujuan appealed to the government for the organic area platform to leave the organic area (Photo / Lin Jiyang) Nakazaki farmer: he felt like an endangered wild bird being driven around.

Chuang Ching-shun, a farmer in the organic area, lamented: "in the past, government propaganda destroyed first and built later." Nature has been destroyed but it takes a long time to recover. After the organic zone turns around and gives way, how much time do future generations have to make up for the scars of the earth? The Council of Agriculture said that exchanging land for land seems to give everyone a way to go, but many people have been working hard all their lives in Nakasaki. I don't know how much time there is left. "

"it is a real pity to lose Nakasaki Farm, not only the ten years we have paid, but also the life constantly emerging in the land. Hope to let the farm continue to do, so that organic business groups, can continue to sprout. " He said emotionally.

Farmer Zeng Jinzhu sighed: "engaging in organic agriculture has saved me, and one day it will save all of you." It is hoped that the public will pay attention to the Nakasaki Organic area, which can extend the life of the organic farm and enable the farm to serve more people. "

Local community: organic area should become the green asset of all citizens.

Chiang Yao-hsien launched the Qiaotou Culture and History Association and devoted himself to the cultural preservation campaign of the sugar factory for a long time. He explained that the campaign for the preservation of the Qiaotou Sugar Factory was first initiated by opposing the development plan of the Qiaotou new town in 1994. After the failure of the third phase of the development of the new town, the scope of the new town has not yet been expropriated by the Qiaotou Science Park project, which has once again triggered an upsurge of land speculation. At present, the value of farmland within the expropriation area has soared from 1.5 million to 15 million.

There are many agricultural gardens in the Nakasaki organic area that provide schools and groups with off-campus teaching. Tseng Chin-chu's flower garden has also become an outdoor classroom for people with physical and mental disabilities. Yang Deming, director general of the Kaohsiung Sanshan Ridge injury Reconstruction Association, also came to express his support. He said, "in the past, people with physical and mental disabilities did not have the opportunity to go to the fields to experience, but organic farmers in Nakasaki opened the flower garden to the disabled to experience farming." many disabled people are very grateful for going to the fields for the first time to pick flowers and spices, and if Nakasaki farm disappears, he will feel very sorry.
